Update

I wanted to let everyone know that I "passed" the psychological exam (as hard as it is to believe ;) ) I had my visit with Dr. Ross Thursday. He is great, a wonderful Christian man. He said since my bmi is so high he's going to have the filter put in me two weeks before surgery. My husband got a kick out of that wanted to know if he had to start changing my oil LOL Dr. Ross said he would submit his letter to medicaid that same day, so I'm now waiting on approval. I pray it's soon! Renee

Hey Renee! Congratulations! You are now one step closer to being a "loser"! I will pray that Medicaid will give you the good news very soon! God Bless You, and hang in there! Terri H.

Thank you guys!!! I have to share with you what happened earlier. Earlier today i was thinking of the risks of the surgery especially open and I got scared really for the first time, I guess it's just now sinking in. Anyway, I was at walmart shopping in the wheelchair ofcourse because i can't walk. These teenagers said 'hey mam' and i said hello and then they started yelling 'you toooooooooo fat! shes toooo fat to even walk!!!! Of course I cried and cried but it really made me realize I have got to have this surgery. Thanks for letting me vent. Renee
